Ricardo Reyes, 28, of Bluffton, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree burglary and filing a false police report.

Bluffton police were called to a home on Running Oak Drive on Feb. 28 from which $2,500 worth of items were reported stolen. The investigation into this incident led to Ricardo Reyes who contacted police on March 1 to report a similar incident occurring at his home. Investigators determined Reyes burglarized his neighbor’s residence and then reported a similar incident in an attempt to divert the investigation.

Investigators said the majority of stolen items were recovered and returned the victim. Reyes was taken the Beaufort County Detention Center where he is awaiting a bond hearing.
